Southernism of the Week: "Cold as a well-digger’s knee. Cold as a frosted frog. Cold as a cast-iron commode." That's how cold it was in Southern California when Kris visited Doug. We did get a few short breaks in the rain to get out walking though!

Kris was playing with an AI art maker and input "16-year-old blond girl Melanie is at a beauty pageant. She wears a fancy pink gown with a big, ruffled skirt and poofy shoulders." Style: "Cartoon Character." It came up with this treasure:

Find the Felony Melanie: Sweet Home Alabama romantic comedy novels.

For another LOL series with a retro vibe, check out Doug’s Totally Rad Wormhole: Two nerds from the eighties accidentally open a wormhole to today, go to their high school reunion, and meet their future selves. Horrified at what they’ve become, they set out to change their fate. Get the book on Amazon or in a variety of e-book formats on Smashwords.

Kris’s voice recognition mistake of the week: Apparently, to voice recognition software, "burrito" sounds a lot like "freedom," giving me a recipe for "breakfast freedom."
